fields get overwritten

I am using Crystal Reports through a Rational product - ClearQuest. All fields have been defined in ClearQuest and I just insert the field objects in the report design. The fields that I use are of type text and vary in their size (and could be 1 line or 50 lines). When I place these fields one below the other, they get overwritten. The second field that comes below the first one should start a couple of lines on completion of the first one.
What should I do to prevent this?

User selected parameters to Crystal in runtime

Hello Babu,
I am new in programming, especially in Crystal Reports! From a web form, I am sending few parametrs to another web form where I will use them to create a crystal report.

I have the database connection, parametrs and evrything added for Crystal report to be generated, but an user can select only 1 choice and 1 parameter can be sent to the other form. Maybe all 3 choices or different combinations of 2 parameters!

How do I write or where do I put the logic for crystal report to expect different numbers of parameters?
I thought Crystal Report was simple, but it's making me crazy.

Right now, I have a report set up that requires all 3 parametrs.

I need to create reports, according to what user selects! With 1 , 2 or all 3 parameters. Also sorting by a certain parameter.
One more thing, I need to display the report in .PDF format in webform. (vb.net)

Redistributing (DLL - ****)

The project I created in VB 6, using MS Access.

Now redistributing this project to a client's PC works fine. I use the MDAC version 2.6. I created an installation file, and installed the application on the client's PC. I used the standard references, to dll included by the setup wizard. This works fine.

Now testing the application on the client's PC this actually run 100% fine, until I reach the reports, then I get the error: "Physical database not found.". This error, is 'caused by some dll files not being included on the client's PC. Now using Crystal reports I use, the RDC Model, and it's v 8.0. So I read up on this, and included these files on the client's pc, and it worked ... it got past this error. At this stage I'm faced with another error. "Can not create DAO DBEngine". I went on to install MS Access on the client's PC, and tested the application once more. It worked

My question stand at, this stage, according to Crystal Reports one needs to include 3 .dll files for this to work, when Access IS present. But what happens when the client does not have MS Access, installed, and he/she won't be able to install MS Access, remember the application does work when comunicating with the .mdb file. it's only the reports not working, so I thought this must be .dll files from Crystal Reports itself that I also need to distribute with the installation CD ????

Any help on this, I did read an article explaining this, but I tried that, and it did not work ...

Dynamic Reporting in .NET

Greetings Babu -

I was wondering if you could help me with some dynamic reporting issues that I have at the moment. I am working in C#, and am currently designing a program that will pull data from a SQL table (most likely into a dataset, so that each query run won't have the total roundtrip cost...I am still looking into it), and then allow the user to select to query the data using either pre-created queries, or by creating their own, and then selecting the report that they would like to see the data displayed in.

My problem is this - I have seen the dynamic report example for C#, and I can see what is being done in the code, but I do not understand how to create Formulas and such with the report designer that will allow me to pass parameters from the user into the report.

So: I have the application- / programming-level knowledge to utilize a user-defined field, but I do not know how to actually create the field within the Crystal Reports Designer included with .NET 2003. Can you help me with this?

Many thanks for your time.

Ciao,
Garret

Re: Redistributing (DLL - ****)

You have to install ODBC Data Source to your client machine, it's free download available in microsoft, make sure the file name MDAC_TYP.exe version 2.6.

so, you no need to install ms access.

yours friendly,
